Currently on the Discord server we have allowed for users to have whatever username they want within reason.

This is currently creating problems for the staff and therefore we are needing to change it to allow for easier moderation and to reduce the possibility for mistakes being made when dealing with any problems/

Therefore following a vote of staff we are announcing that users must make sure that they are easily identifiable on Discord.

The requirement isn't for the name to be the same however your username on Discord must contain your HQ username.
For example if Welshy wanted the Discord username Welsh it wouldn't be allowed however if I were to have the username "Welshy2017" it would be allowed.

Of course, the Admin team are welcoming and accepting of your feedback on this change. We hope it will be welcomed.

We are going to give a weeks grace period for users and will remind all members that username changes can either be actioned themselves on Discord or requested to any Admin on HQ

If you guys are having trouble with discord why not create roles where you can add certain permissions? Or piggybacking of of Krux's suggestion why not make new people who join force read the rules_faq channel where theyre directed to the forums to make an account, get a pin via forum dm and post it in discord to confirm its not a random spammer or raider if its really a problem. All this could be easily handled by bots btw

My knowledge is limited. Anything I write in my posts may or may not be accurate. To be honest I think its all crap.

Not sure why it'd be an issue for some of you to just change your Discord name, of all things. I do like Smith & Krux's idea of a "private" server though, but I don't think that's the same issue the mods are trying to deal with right now.
